Bollard
types and spacing

Bollard lights are available in a massive choice of styles, finish and lamp options. You need to think about how the light
will be used for example a small garden pathway, the main driveway or to illuminate steps etc. If you are within
20 km of the coast you should think about using the wooden bollards or marine grade 316 stainless steel. Some bollards
have built in LED lamps and they generally offer lower levels of light ( lumen's ) than say a compact fluorescent.
Also if the lamp is an integral part of the bollard then it cannot be replaced if it fails in future so you will have
to purchase a complete new bollard. There are bollards that use GU10 LED lamps and in this case can be changed for a
ECO friendly GU10 LED lamp. The spacing of the bollards will depend on the lamp output, louvre design, height etc but
a general rule of thumb would be no less than 3 meters and no more than 12 meters apart. The shorter distance would be
for garden pathways and the longer distance for long driveways.

Lamp colour ( Kelvins )

Lamp colour is determined by the Kelvins and a lamp which is 2700 kelvin is classed as warm white and sympathetic
to skin tones and warm brickwork. A kelvin of 6500k is in the blueish white spectrum and works well against a white
background and will appear brighter to the naked eye than the warm colour spectrum.
